Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, clicking "Create design," or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our [Privacy Policy]. If you are using CTO on behalf of a company, you confirm that you have authority to bind that company and that "you" refers to both you and the company.

2. Your Inputs & Outputs

• Inputs are the text prompts, reference images, or other material you upload or enter.
• Outputs are the raster and vector files (and any preview images) our software generates for you.
• Together, Inputs and Outputs are "Designs."

2.1 Ownership & Assignment

You represent and warrant that you either own, or have secured the necessary rights in, your Inputs. We hereby assign to you — and you alone — all right, title, and interest in and to the Outputs you create with the Service, for any personal or commercial purpose you choose.

2.2 License Back to CTO

By using the Service you grant CTO, its affiliates, successors and assigns a perpetual, worldwide, non‑exclusive, sublicensable, royalty‑free, irrevocable license to:

1. host, store, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, create derivative works from, publish, transmit, publicly display and publicly perform your Designs; and
2. sublicense those rights to trusted third‑party service providers (e.g., CDNs, analytics, marketing partners) as needed — solely so we can (a) operate, provide and improve the Service; (b) display your Designs in the public gallery or marketing materials if they are marked public; and (c) comply with law or enforce these Terms.

2.3 Public Gallery & Privacy Options

• Free & Plus plans – Designs are public and may be remixed by other users.
• Pro plan – You can toggle privacy per Design. Private Designs will never appear in the gallery or be used in our marketing.

3. Plan‑Based Rights

Credits do not roll over and have no cash value. Additional credits may be purchased separately.

4. Payments & Renewals

Subscriptions auto‑renew each month (or year, if selected) at the advertised price plus taxes. Cancel at any time in your account settings; we do not offer pro‑rated refunds. We may change prices with at least 30 days' notice.

5. Content Rules

You agree not to use the Service to create, upload, or share Designs that:

1. infringe anyone's copyright, trademark, or publicity rights;
2. depict or promote violence, hate, or illegal activity;
3. exploit minors;
4. contain personal data you do not have the right to share;
5. violate Cricut® or Silhouette® terms or any other third‑party policies.

We may remove Designs or suspend accounts that violate these rules.

6. DMCA & Takedowns

If you believe a Design on CTO infringes your copyright or trademark, please email support@heycutthatout.com with: (i) your contact info, (ii) description of the work, (iii) URL of the allegedly infringing Design, and (iv) a good‑faith statement under penalty of perjury. We will promptly investigate under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

7. Intellectual‑Property Notice

"Cut That Out," the scissors‑logo, and related marks are our trademarks. Cricut® and Silhouette® are trademarks of their respective owners; CTO is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

8. Termination

You can delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate the Service or your account (with or without notice) if you violate these Terms or pose a risk to other users. Sections 2, 4, 6, 9–11 survive termination.

9. Disclaimer

The Service and all Designs are provided "as is." We do not guarantee that Outputs will be unique, error‑free, or suitable for your intended use (e.g., thickness of lines for specific materials). Use common‑sense safety measures when crafting.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, CTO will not be liable for indirect or consequential damages or for any amount exceeding the greater of (a) the fees you paid in the 3 months before the event giving rise to liability or (b) US $100.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising out of your Designs or your breach of these Terms.

12. Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

We'd rather chat than litigate. If a dispute arises, contact us at support@heycutthatout.com and we'll try to resolve it within 30 days. If unresolved, either party may choose binding arbitration in San Francisco County, California, under the American Arbitration Association's Expedited Commercial Rules. Proceedings must be brought individually—not as a class action. California law governs these Terms, without regard to conflict‑of‑law rules.

13. Age Requirements

You must be at least 13 years old (or the age of digital consent in your country) to use CTO. If you are under 18, please craft with a parent or guardian.

14. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we'll post the revised Terms and email you or provide in‑app notice 7 days before they take effect. Continued use after that means you accept the new Terms.
